Job Summary

Lead our technical security across cloud, infrastructure, and validator systems.

We're hiring a Lead Security Engineer to own and enhance technical security across our cloud infrastructure. You'll be our senior technical authority on security: hardening our environments, optimising real detection and response capability, embedding least-privilege and secure-by-default practices, and helping a fast-moving engineering team ship safely.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll set the technical direction and do the work, partnering closely with engineering, infrastructure, and leadership, and with our external audit and incident-response partners. There is room to grow a small team behind you as the function matures.

What Success Looks Like (First 6–12 Months)

• Comprehensive, continuously monitored visibility across our cloud infrastructure and attack surface.
• Least-privilege and short-lived access championed and consistently applied across teams.
• Detection, alerting, and tested response runbooks spanning both infrastructure and on-chain activity.
• Secure-by-default guardrails: change review, IaC checks and tooling, embedded in how the team ships.

Key Responsibilities

• Cloud & Infrastructure Security: Own and advance the security of our Google Cloud (GCP) environment; operate cloud security posture management, network segmentation, and guardrails as policy-as-code; and maintain comprehensive, continuously monitored visibility across our infrastructure.
• Identity, Access & Secrets: Champion least-privilege across both human and machine identities; enhance and operate short-lived, workload-bound access; and own robust secrets management and the credential lifecycle.
• CI/CD, IaC & Supply Chain: Secure our pipelines and infrastructure-as-code (GitLab, Terraform); champion secrets hygiene; manage third-party, dependency, and supply-chain risk; and own vulnerability and patch management.
• Detection & Response: Maintain detection engineering and security monitoring across infrastructure; advance our SIEM, logging, and alerting; and lead incident response, coordinating with external partners.
• Governance & Culture: Own change-management guardrails and security review for sensitive changes; lead threat modeling and secure-SDLC practices; and raise the bar across the team through training, security champions, and clear guidance on the "why" behind security decisions.

Key Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in security engineering, with real depth in cloud security, ideally GCP.
• Strong, hands-on skills across IAM and least-privilege, secrets management, and network security in cloud-native environments.
• Experience securing CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, GitLab, or equivalents).
• Detection engineering and security monitoring experience (SIEM, log pipelines, alerting), plus practical incident response.
• Solid coding/scripting ability enough to automate, build internal tooling, and review infrastructure code.
• A track record of leading technical security initiatives and influencing engineers through expertise rather than authority.
• Pragmatic judgment: you raise the security bar in a fast-moving environment while keeping the business moving.

Bonus Points

• Crypto / web3 security experience: key management, HSMs or threshold signing, wallet security, validator/staking infrastructure, or smart-contract security.
• Familiarity with blockchain operations, Ethereum and the broader multi-chain ecosystem.
• Endpoint and identity tooling such as Microsoft Intune/Defender or FreeIPA.
• Experience building or scaling a security function in a high-growth environment.

What We Offer

• Outsized Impact: Security is mission-critical here, with genuine leadership backing and budget (audits, tooling, headcount).
• Ownership: You'll define the technical security roadmap and own it end-to-end.
• Meaningful Challenges: Solve hard, meaningful problems at the frontier of crypto infrastructure and scale.

Compensation and Benefits

• Base Salary Range: $180,000 to $250,000 annually.
• Actual compensation within this range will depend on location, experience, and qualifications.
